Introduction
It’s possible to manually turn on/off line numbering on amendments, including ping pong motions in the UK, if you want line numbers to appear when there isn't an amendment to an amendment targeting the amendment/motion.
How to turn on/off line numbering
With your cursor in the selected amendment, right-click and select “Update line number status”
The system will present the “Update line number status” dialogue box
Select whether you want to turn on or turn off line numbering and click ‘Update’
The system will update the amendment/motion accordingly
Hints and tips
You can set line numbering against a ping pong message, ping pong amendment and ping pong motion - as well as normal amendments.
Line numbers are generated as part of the PDF generation process which means you won't see the line numbers against your selected amendment/motion until you view your generated PDF
Line numbers appear as they do in bills - every 5 lines.
Line numbers will continue to appear by default according to the existing logic applied to amendments to amendments: if the target amendment appears before the amendment to amendment, it will be line numbered by default. This cannot be turned off using this feature.
